Tallaght Area Committee (2)

Tallaght ACM (2) 22nd February 2010

Motions

09/02/2010

That this Committee, noting with disgust the continuing dereliction of the former McHugh's Shopping Centre in Greenhills, including the recent use of the site as a dumping ground and the further proliferation of graffiti, abhors the lack of progress made by the developer concerned in addressing his neglect of the site. This Committee calls on the Council to pursue those responsible for the neglectful and damaging lack of upkeep of the site through the full vigours of the law. This Committee further believes that, given the community neglect imposed on the residents of Greenhills by this eyesore, any moneys recovered through the Derelict Sites levy should be ringfenced for immediate re-investment in the Greenhills area.

Addendum to 1.3.3.iii Older People - paragraph now to read (addendum in italics);

1.3.3.iii Older People

South Dublin County has a small, but growing, number of older people. The proportion of the population aged 65 and over increased from 6.3% in 2002 to 7.2% in 2006. The Housing Strategy proposes to cater for this group with the continued provision of appropriate housing including sheltered housing close to community facilities and public transport. Good design is also important in creating a safe and barrier-free environment which is easily negotiable by older people. It is furthermore the policy of the Council to ensure adequate development of appropriate commercial and community facilities and public transport in population centres with higher proportions of older people.

Addendum to 1.3.43 Community Gardening - Section now to read (addendum in italics);

The Council has successfully assisted local residents with the development of community gardens at various locations within the County.

Community Gardens have thus far been developed in South Dublin County as a result of interested people in a community coming together to practice horticulture- growing fruit, vegetables and flowers. Community gardening, as well as providing a leisure outlet for residents, also contributes to sustainable food produce and the visual and environmental amenity of local communities.

Policy SCR 59: Community Gardening

It is the policy of the Council to assist and support residents and residents' groups in forming and developing community gardens at appropriate locations in the County. The Council will provide, where possible, material assistance and advice to groups involved in community gardening and assist with sustainable water solutions.

Motions

17/08/2009

Addendum to 2.5.6 Telecommunication Network - paragraph now to read (addendum in italics);

2.5.6 Telecommunication Network

The widespread availability of a high quality telecommunications network throughout the County will be critical to the development of a knowledge economy, will help attract inward investment in hi-tech knowledge based industries and will engender the image of the County as a premier location for enterprise. The provision of a high quality network is also desirable in terms of equality outcomes and the narrowing of the 'digital divide.' An accessible, high quality network will be of particular benefit to those who have not traditionally benefited from modern advances in telecommunications, in particular the elderly, those who are disabled and those from backgrounds of disadvantage. The advantages of a high quality telecommunications network must however be balanced against the need to safeguard the rural and urban environment, particularly in sensitive areas where the impacts on residential amenity and visual amenity of local areas needs to be adequately assessed. It is an objective of the Council to facilitate the roll-out of an effective 3G mobile broadband network in the County.
